ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Clavis Ballroom

Thespi: -just...stares-

-dumbfounded-

-awestruck-

<..whoa...>

Pippy, Megan: -applaud wildly-

No mind to think. No will to break.

Channah: -blinks, then claps half-heartedly- Jeez.

Lo: -scoffs- <Theater.>

Thierry: < I liked it. >

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Clavis Ballroom

Phaz is applauding too after the show.

Cynthia: "I think it might've been what Colton can do. Not sure tho."

Phaz: "My thoughts too."

He's drinking a glass of champagne.

What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold? Even at the center of fire, there is cold All that glitters ain't gold

Ballroom

-As the guests applause, Ren, Rio, and Cambria bow on the platform and then sweep their arms at there teammates, then all of them sweep towards the orchestra to give them their share of the applause.-

-As Ren's Team are quickly teleported into the gardens, the employees quickly cover the stages and replace the drinks, although the ice sculptures aren't replaced.-

-As the applause dies down, Ren, Rio and Cambria leave the platform and the orchestra starts up a Delpoxtrot.-

Clavis Manor

Kai: Ooh. It's always good to have a passion for something, gives you a path in life.

-She smiles at the show, applauding when relevant-

Kai: My passion's just for battling in general, personally. No specialty, just finding whoever comes along and bringing out the best in them, you know?

Clavis Family Funouse, past

Ilya: Hello, Alpha! It's so good to meet you!

Clavis Family Funhouse, now

-Everyone is dancing!-

-Umbra and Ammy are dancing-

-Arika is off to the side chatting with Metagross!Chrome-

Arika: So, you let that Jessica borrow your armband?

Chrome: <That I did.>

Arika: Heh, good luck to her, then.

-Nico is presumably dancing with Maggie-

-Trina spots Umbra and radios Giselle-

Trina: After confirmation from Vera- Jacob, Verax's brother that he was here, I found him in the ballroom. He's dancing with... her.

Giselle: On my way.

-They may be spotted-

-Meanwhile Ilya is dancing with a very flustered La-

-The Jean-Ome Project is open to be danced with-

-As are The Enforcers-

-And Heracles-

Heracles: -snarls in a flirty fashion-

Conservatory, pre-show

-Alpha gives a short 'nice to meet you' growl-

Clavis Manor

Hae-Won: "Yeah, I get you, that's a good part of things. Dragons are just really cool!"

-Maggie is indeed dancing with Nico, still very much barefoot-

-Meanwhile, a Garchomp wearing sensible army boots approaches Heracles-

Finn: <Care to have someone take you up on that offer, Big Boy?>

Gardens

-Vincent might be approached by his mother-

Lisa: <That was certainly impressive, Vincent. Must have taken some practice to do that shift without skipping a beat.>

-Kai grins-

Kai: Hell yeah they are. One of my closest team members is a Flygon, her name's Spectrum. She's a bit too big to be in here, though, so she's keeping warm in the conservatory.

-She pauses, stands up, and offers Hae-Won a hand-

Kai: Say, do you dance?

Vincent: <Well it was hard not to miss a beat at first... But Ren has had us practing for a couple of weeks now.>

Ballroom

-Ren and Cambria are doing a swing dance to Jump Up, Super Star!-

-Ever is dancing-

-he doesn't seem to be dancing with anyone, but his arms are spread as though he is. He's not leading, and he seems able to dip himself significantly beyond what gravity should permit-

-Muninn is still perched on his head, clinging for dear life-

Amanita: ...You know, I should see if Pianis is around.

Brie: You're not just gonna leave me alone, are you?

Amanita: Go ask some cute girl to dance or something.

Brie: I know, like...ten people here.

Amanita: Since when is that a problem?

Brie: I mean, when I have to meet new people I'm really good at it, but picking people to meet is the worst! What if someone doesn't like me?

Amanita: Has that ever happened?

Brie: Sometimes. It's the worst.

Amanita: Seems like a low-percentage probability. I'm gonna go find Pianis.

Brie: Hey wait!

-and Amanita walks off to do just that. Brie gulps, and attempts to make eye contact with someone. Dancing works pretty much like Pokemon battles, right?-

-PEFE!Every is going over the video of the performance with Rotary-

PEFE!Every: I don't understand it. The transformation appears to be catalyzed by...sheer obscuric force of will.

Rotary: <It's not unheard of.>

PEFE!Every: I'm familiar with the concept. Mew can manage it, so an obscuric equivalent isn't at all out of the question. It's just unusual that a human should have access to that sort of output level.

Rotary: <I mean, according to Jacob, it's possible to get favors from Dialga? The J-team apparently has access to a great deal of resources.>

PEFE!Every: Dr. Tagg does seem to have indicated as such. All the same, it seems a waste to apply it to a...musical number.

Rotary: <Everyone needs entertainment.>

Tuft: <Speaking of, are you going to go dance?>

PEFE!Every: It's awfully loud. I can hear the music from here.

Tuft: <So dance here.>

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Clavis Manor

Hae-Won: "Not much, but hopefully I can pick it up fine."

-A Lady makes eye contact with Brie-

Lady: "A DANCE? Very well, but I will have you know my WALTZ skills are world class."

Gardens

Lisa: <Well, your practice shone through. Nice job.>

Clavis Family Funhouse

-Heracles snarls and accepts the offer, dancing with Finn-

Contact Me!

Brie: ...Huh.

-okay, she didn't expect it to be quite so much like battling, but one weird tagline demands another-

Brie: Do you ever wonder...on other planets, do they do different dances? I think they would.

-she goes to dance with the Lady-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-Finn grins and begins to dance with Heracles, letting him lead-

---

-The Lady nods in response to Brie's comment to demonstrate her agreement, then begins to dance-

-As she and Brie start dancing, Brie would notice that all the music around her now seems to be played in the FRLG soundfont-

-Kai smiles-

Kai: I can lead, then, if you'll have me.

-Brie blinks-

-honk-

Brie: ...Does this music seem odd to you?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-Phoenix was going to dance with Heracles. Then Heracles is taken. He taps his foot.-

-Hae-Won smiles and lets Kai lead-

Lady: "Oh, apologies. That is due to a CONDITION I have had since CHILDHOOD. Apparently others not around me hear music in higher quality than I do."

-Forte applauds for the performance-

Shadow: <So... was that a furry thing?>

Forte: Pretty much, yeah.

Fortis: Happy birthday, Piano!

-Fortis is carrying what appears to be a life-sized Nihilego-

Mezzo: Whoa whoa whoa, where did you get that?

Fortis: It's your present!

-Fortis places it on Mezzo's head-

Fortis: It's a hat!

Mezzo: ...Um.

-Pianis waves Amanita down-

Pianis: Help. This guy won't let me in because he says Siren is too big.

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

-Phoenix presses a button in his coat. The clown shoes break off.-

Phoenix Not clowning around anymore.

-You know what they say.-

-It takes two to tango.-

-Phoenix does so with Heracles, leaving the third dancer behind.-

Brie: I'll say. Uh, it kind of sounds like...a bunch of similar-but-not-really-identical sounds got made into actually-identical sounds? It's a little jarring. Like, that violin is making a trumpet noise. Which I don't know how to describe, because I am also making noises within those parameters? It's very uncomfortable.

-there is, somewhat acausally, another person present in the room-

Ever: Heya, Mezzo. Happy birthday.

Amanita: ...Couldn't she just make an illusion of something smaller?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Siren: <Maybe I like this illusion, okay?>

-Pianis sighs-

Mezzo: Oh, thank you!

-she hugs Ever-

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Clavis Dancefloor

Phaz is tapping the rhythm to the music while drinking champagne. He's unsure of what to do now.

What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold? Even at the center of fire, there is cold All that glitters ain't gold

Clavis Manor

Lady: "If you are uncomfortable, we can stop. Just make sure to give the appropriate amount of PRIZE MONEY."

-Finn is a bit irritated he got cut out and starts scheming stuff-

-He dances over to Heracles, adapting more of a Swing style-

-He leans next to Phoenix and whispers something in his ear-

Finn: <Mind if I cut in?>

-He then grabs one of Heracles' hands and begins moving him in a Swing dance style, hoping that the jerking movement will get Phoenix to let go-
